"Dial 'M' for Murder @ Lakewood

"Dial 'M' for Murder" is the kind of show where even the most cursory of plot summaries would amount to a smorgasbord of spoilers. So, let's jump right into the reasons you should see it. The title tells you everything you need to know about whether it is your cup of tea. It most certainly is mine, coming in second only to Lakewood's immediately previous production of "Inherit the Wind" as my most anticipated production of the metro-area's entire Season. In fact, the splendidness of these two shows has served to make me regret my inadvertent neglect of their shows as of late. It also must be noted that shows like "Dial 'M' are solidly in Lakewood's wheelhouse, it's always nice to see them do a show that has their "mark" as it were. Even the weather felt like a perfect complement to the show, the kind of night one might bundle in a blanket and watch its famous cinematic adaptation. In short, put this at the top of your list, it's run is rather brief.
